Abstract:GBP/USD was trading in a narrower range of around 50 pips on Thursday having hit an 11-month high the prior day after the Federal Reserve raised rates but signaled an end to its tightening cycle is in sight. The technicals are left bullish, however, while on the front side of the weekly dynamic support line as the following will illustrate:

• Bears need to get below the 1.2570s.

GBP/USD was trading in a narrower range of around 50 pips on Thursday having hit an 11-month high the prior day after the Federal Reserve raised rates but signaled an end to its tightening cycle is in sight. The technicals are left bullish, however, while on the front side of the weekly dynamic support line as the following will illustrate:

GB/USD WEEKLY CHART

We have a resistance at 1.2600 that the bulls need to overcome that will open the way to 1.2660. There are prospects of a strong move up from there which makes the midpoint of the 1.26s potentially stubborn resistance.

GBP/USD H4 chart

The 4-hour time frame is compelling. A break of trendline support will be key and the 1.2570s are key in this regard. A break of the 1.2550s opens the risk of a deeper move lower for the days ahead. Nonfarm Payrolls will be a critical event on Friday and next week´s opening balance could be what counts, setting the tone for the week ahead after the NFP volatility.
